Re: Storage Quota API

Just to confirm:  Yes the interfaces are vendor prefixed (WebKit), and
WebSQL, AppCache, IDB are treated as temporary in the current chromium
implementation.

IIRC there's been a proposal to have a way to hint that an IndexedDB
ObjectStore is 'evictable' or not:
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11350

Though it seems to be put off until later (version 2), I was assuming that
once we have the 'evictable' option it would indicate the data's Temp/Perm
attribute.

Other storage APIs do not have a way to express temp/perm either.
 Chromium's current policy is defaulting to conservative or less
astonishment to the users (in our belief), so that they won't see unexpected
prompts or unknown data pressing their disk space.
